Is this what you have?

Since they're clones I would think that you could leave them together. Some people have tankfulls of bubble tip anemone clones and their clown fish love it:

I'm pretty sure it/they is a BTA. Leave them together. In nature there are sometime fields of bta clones. Clownfish treat them like one big anemone. You could also take one to your next local frag swap and spread the wealth a little.:)

If so, hit the jpg tag, set to 500pixels and resize.

It should work well.

BTAs come in a variety of colors. Tips can be red, orange, pink, green, white, yellow and probably others. The tentacles themselves can be purplish, green, brown, orange, red, tan, and white. The combinations of tip colors and tentacle colors can be pretty random.
Your second pic is more clearly a Bubble Tip Anemone aka BTA (E. quadricolor)
